Millenials and Gen Z are definied by watching a coordinated, well-funded, and successful attack on the organs of national sovereignty and rights of the people. Each gen had a different question, though: Millenials: "Why they trying to break everything?" Gen Z: "Why can they not be stopped?"

See, I spent much of my life living around and working around wild coyotes... .and I would never worry one second about human safety. Now, 'coyotes' that decided to den up next to my house? I would worry about how much domestic dog is in their DNA and about how unpredictable that might make them.
